Maggie Williams Cemetery is a small family cemetery located in Nez Perce County,
just over the Latah County line, on the Clifford and Pauline Hermann
ranch. (Mileage calculated from the corner of Cedar and Chestnut streets
in Genesee, Idaho.) Take the Juliaetta Road east out of Genesee (toward
Juliaetta) for 5.3 miles and turn right onto gravel road. In about 1.9
miles you will come to a fork--go left: in 0.2 mile, go right; in 0.2
mile go left. In 1.3 miles you will come to dead end signs and the
mailbox for "Tombstone Ranch", go right and the entrance to the ranch
will be straight ahead 0.2 mile. Instead of going into the ranch, keep
left for 0.1 mile, and the cemetery plot will be on your right.
Tombstones read beginning is the northeast corner.
